I just got my longhaired kitty, Mocha, spayed. The problem is that the fur on the edges of the shaved area is matted. Oh, matted, heck, it's tangled and knotted good. It's NOT going to brush out, and it's stuck to her skin in spots. I figure the only thing to do is to wait for it to grow out a...
As you may have read, I just took in a stray. She's doing well, using litterbox, eating, being generally happy!
Unfortunately, she's pregnant. I can't take care of 2 cats and kittens, and this being kitten season, there will be too many kitties around looking for homes. So I'm getting her...
How do I convince Mocha (my new stray) that playswatting and kneading people with claws extended is a no-no? I'm going to clip them and give her more scratchers, but still, she has sharp little needles!
Yay! Willie has a kittybuddy! Ok, so they haven't met yet, but... I found a stray kitty at my grandmother's house last Saturday. After confirming that she has no owners, and putting flea medicine (left over from when I got Willie) on her neck, I just brought her home. She's been amazingly sweet...
This morning, I was attempting to make the bed, and didn't see... The Evil Feather Toy creeping up behind me! Luckily, Willie lept on the bed and saved me!
As y'all may have read, Willie is neurotically shy. If I come home with someone else in tow, he hides (he hides from my son too, and Mio doesn't play rough or terrorize him, I think he just doesn't like Mio making sudden moves... Mio is six, he ONLY makes sudden moves, lol). If I don't pay...
Is it normal for a cat's tummy to rumble? Yesterday, Willie and I were sitting on the couch watching tv, and I looked over at him and his stomach audibly and visibly rumbled. He had a definite thinkI'mgonnahurl expression on his face, though he didn't. This might have had something to do with...
My son is very sweet and gentle with Willie... the only problem is that he got it in his head that it was funny to chase Willie. I fixed that problem after it happened a few times, and I think Mio got the message that it wasn't funny. However, Willie is now super wary of Mio, and won't come out...
I've been free-feeding Willie dry (for one, because he eats in the middle of the night when I'm asleep, and also because I'm gone most of the day), and one small can of food in the evening. He doesn't eat that much, but he has a flappy belly he could use to lose (aside from that, he's not fat...
Ick... son and I out of school still. Everything's all drippy and H ran off with my car . Not that I have any $, but I like knowing that I can go somewhere if I have to. Was going to make chocolate-chip cookies, but eggs went bad.
Anyone else having a better day?
I read recently that most cat shows have a division for housecats. What do they look for? Is it expensive? (Not that Willie would ever place...he's one fat kitty, and doesn't seem to have that imperious "cattitude")
Hi! I'm glad to have found this great cat site to answer my questions, as I have only been a mommy to my wonderful Willie (Gray/brown tabby, 5 yrs old) for 2 weeks now.
On my birthday, I was out with my mum and brothers, and suddenly wanted to go to PetsMart to see the Adopt-a-thon they have...
